Programme Efficiency and Cost Reduction During the Delivery Phase
Summary
Crossrail is committed to safely deliver a world class railway, on time, and at the lowest possible cost. It is required of all involved in the delivery and management of the programme to drive efficiency and maximise value for money.
In 2015, the Crossrail leadership team agreed cost reduction targets with key projects across the programme, with the aim of further instilling the cost reduction culture required to deliver the programme’s objectives.
This paper describes this approach, as well as the process, tools, systems and communication channels which underpinned it, and will be of use for any publicly funded project or programme, or any project looking to drive out cost during the delivery phase.
